Whether you have two children, ten, or somewhere in between, sibling portraits are a great way to celebrate these special childhood bonds. These portraits make wonderful gifts for family and friends, and are sure to be cherished for many years to come. Here are a few of our favorites.
These baby portraits are sure to melt your heart. We create our sets to complement our adorable models–from their age and eye color to their gender and personality. This results in one-of-a-kind portrait art that will last a lifetime. Check out these cuties that we have recently photographed at Sandy Puc’ Photography.
We had a great turn out last Saturday for our annual Locks of Love Charity Event. Overall, 150 inches of hair was donated to Locks of Love. This charity is such a great way to give back and best of all, you get the chance to make a difference in the lives of sick children. The hair that was donated will supply hair that will be used to make wigs. Thanks to all the girls that participated in this event, and we can’t wait to do this again next year!
*Special thanks to Littleton Hair Company for cutting and styling hair.

This time of year is perfect for an outdoor family portrait session. Regardless of the location you want, be it a mountain field or a local park or garden, there are lots of wardrobe options to consider. Here are a few of our favorite looks for this season.
First, consider the spring color palette this year from Pantone. Most designers favor any combination of these shades in their spring lines.
You can create a stylish look with any one of these colors, simply paired with white or other neutrals, such as the Starfish or Driftwood shades. Alternately, these colors can work well together to create a more playful or dramatic look. Some of the stronger hues like Bellflower, Cabaret and Tangerine Tango will make great accent colors for accessories, shoes and jewelry.
Here are some fun spring looks from Gap:
You can create a variety of looks with these color ideas, from casual to sophisticated, splashy to subdued. If you use a strong color, be sure to balance it out with plenty of white or neutral pieces as well. Above all, be sure to let each family member’s personality shine through. Call us today to set up an appointment for your family’s portraits along with a free consultation with our sales team. We will make sure you are well prepared for your photo shoot, wardrobe and all! 303.730.8638

Avocado
Serve fresh, mashed with a touch of garlic salt. If you’re feeling fancy, add finely diced tomatoes.
Peas
One cup contains more protein than a tablespoon of peanut butter! Steam or boil until tender and puree. Tastes wonderful with steamed and pureed carrots as well!
Squash
Many varieties are perfect for one of baby’s first foods. Roast until tender, puree and voila! Stir in some applesauce and a pinch of cinnamon for a delicious dish.
Peaches and Pears
You can use fresh or canned peaches and pears. Simply slice, mash and serve for a yummy treat any time.
Remember – You should always consult your pediatrician about all dietary choices for your baby. Be sure to allow a week after you introduce a new food, before you introduce another. Use clean hands and utensils when preparing baby food, and be sure that foods are at a comfortable temperature before giving them to your baby.
Bon’ appetite!
This time of year, love is in the air. It’s a great time to remember those dearest to our hearts—even our four-legged, (very best) friends. If you’ve been touched by the unconditional love and devotion of a pet, then the important work that the PETCO Foundation is doing is something you will want to be a part of.
Since 1999, they have been aiding animal-welfare organizations in finding lifelong, loving homes for millions of orphaned pets. They also help fund spay and neuter, assisted therapy and humane education programs. Today, they donate about $8 million a year to assist companion animals across the country. Largely funded by seasonal fundraisers at over 1,000 PETCO stores nationwide. Their mission is to raise the quality of life for pets and people who love and need them.
$25 feeds orphaned kittens until they are weaned
$35 provides grooming for a neglected dog
$50 provides pet supplies to a foster family
$100 provides vet care for an abused animal

The PETCO Foundation was awarded four stars—the highest rating possible by Charity Navigator.
Ice Skating
Find an outdoor skating rink and rent some skates. Bundle up and grab a thermos of hot cocoa (with maybe a touch of peppermint schnapps), some mugs and a camera to document your winter wonderland memories.
Stargazing
Find a tranquil outdoor setting and bring an air mattress, hammock or some reclining chairs. For an unforgettable time, mark your calendar for the next big meteor shower and get ready to make some wishes! Bring a nice bottle of wine and ask 20 questions while you gaze. Make your own constellation.
Take a Ski Day
Hit the slopes with your love, and be sure to spend some time by a nice roaring fire at the end of the day. Make s’mores and then hit the hot tub together.
Scavenger Hunt
Whether it’s throughout your house or throughout the whole city, make a scavenger hunt for your love and help them follow the clues to a picnic or dinner at a nice restaurant.
Row, Row, Row your Boat
Rent a row boat and take a few leisurely spins around a lake. Timeless romance. Sigh…
Go to a Game
Get tickets to a home game and tailgate together. Wear team jerseys and be super fans together.
Play Strip Poker
And let them win a few games!
Get Fresh
Go to an orchard or berry farm and pick some fresh fruit to enjoy together. Bring a nice bottle of champagne (of course) to reward yourselves for your efforts. Find a nice spot to plant a tree together. Go back and carve your names in it on an anniversary or special occasion down the road.
Be Adventurous
Go bungee jumping, skydiving, rock climbing, anything out of your comfort zone. You’ll get a great adrenaline rush and wonderful memories with your loved one.
Dance the Night Away
Take a dance class and then go to a nice dinner afterwards.
Volunteer Together
Find a common interest and donate some time together. Visit a nursing home for a monthly bingo night, help out at a food bank, visit children in the hospital or clean up a trail or park.
Hope this list helps your imagination run wild. Get out there and spend some quality time with the one you love!
